Tommy Robinson will not face charges over an alleged assault at St Pancras station last month.
The Crown Prosecution Service concluded that “there was not a realistic prospect of conviction”, according to the British Transport Police.

WTF?

Tories Criticize Consideration of Immigration Status in Lighter Sentences for Criminals
Conservatives say courts should not consider the immigration status of convicted criminals when handing down sentences, warning that doing so would create a “two-tier” system.
The statement comes after a recent court ruling that spared prison time for a convicted criminal to reduce his risk of deportation.
Chinese Spies Hit More Than 80 Countries in ‘Salt Typhoon’ Breach, FBI Reveals
A Beijing-linked yearslong espionage campaign that hit U.S. telecom companies and swept up Donald Trump’s phone calls actually targeted more than 80 countries, reaching across the globe to a far greater extent than investigators initially understood.
The scope of the intrusion allowed Chinese intelligence officers to potentially surveil U.S. citizens’ private communications and track their movements around the globe, Brett Leatherman, the FBI’s top cyber official, said in an interview. The agency estimates that the intruders likely obtained more than one million call records and targeted the telephone calls and text messages of more than 100 Americans.
“This is one of the more consequential cyber espionage breaches we have seen here in the United States,” he said.
FLETCHER: How can island tribes claim ancestral territory on the mainland?
As predicted in my August 11 column, British Columbia has joined the Musqueam Indian Band in moving to appeal a landmark judgment of aboriginal title to a former seasonal village site near Vancouver International Airport.
After more than 500 days of trial featuring more than 60 lawyers, BC Supreme Court Justice Barbara Young ruled in favour of the Cowichan Tribes, which brought the lawsuit more than seven years ago.
Majority of Canadians say Canada is more dangerous than five years ago: CSIS poll
OTTAWA — Nearly six in 10 Canadians feel their country is more dangerous than five years ago, before Russia invaded Ukraine, India was linked to the murder of a Sikh-Canadian and Canada reckoned with the scourge of foreign interference.
In fact, only a paltry three per cent of Canadians believe Canada is a safer place now than it was five years, according to a January Ekos poll done on behalf of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and recently published online.
Funny how the Hamas support rallies don’t merit a mention.
Trump’s war on urban disorder Blue cities should pay heed
In 2024, Donald Trump flipped tens of thousands of city dwellers from The Bronx to Philadelphia who were frustrated by lenient crime policies in blue cities and states. It’s understandable that the president wants to reward this emerging GOP constituency by showing instant progress. On Monday, the White House issued an executive order to punish jurisdictions that release criminal suspects without requiring them to post cash bail, and a separate order to prepare the National Guard for “rapid nationwide deployment,” including to cities beyond Washington, DC.
But just because urban crime is a real problem doesn’t mean that Trump can fix it by decree. Trump is exceeding his constitutional authority in attempting to circumvent the frustratingly iterative process of federalist democracy, which rarely offers political or practical shortcuts.
Why are five-year-olds being reported for racism?
The number of children in England suspended or expelled from school for racist behaviour has more than doubled since 2021. Over 15,000 pupils were sent home last year, compared with 7,400 three years ago. Incredibly, nearly 2,500 of these children were at a primary school and five of them were in reception.
David Oliver: Mark Carney’s European submarine hunt
Mark Carney’s visit Tuesday to the shipyard of ThyseenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) in Kiel Germany, confirmed it and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean Co. as the two leading bidders to fulfil the requirement of 12 submarines under Canada’s Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP).
Carney’s visit to Ukraine, Poland and Germany comes as Canada seeks to signal its intent to rebuild an atrophied set or defence assets and defence industrial base. It also signals Canada’s desire for strategic autonomy from the U.S. as it builds hard and soft power links with other western allies.
‘Green’ Europe’s industrial masochism
If a self-described leader finds that nobody is following, is leadership present? Perhaps. The next question might be, where is the leader headed?
These queries could well be put to the European Union’s makers of energy policy, who fancy themselves as groundbreakers for a supposed transition away from fossil fuels in favor of “green” technologies. (We use qualifying quotation marks because wind turbines and solar panels have plenty of environmental downsides.)
But, according to recent Energy Institute data, European leaders are driving not a bandwagon onto which the world is jumping but rather a hearse toward self-destruction.
Hate Imam Fadi Kablawi Targets Jews, Christians at Funeral Livestreamed by Islamic Center
“If you pass by a grave of a kafir, give him the news of the hellfire.”
On August 2, 2025, the Islamic Center of South Florida (ICOSF) once again made a public and shocking endorsement of extremism, when it livestreamed a funeral officiated by radical imam Fadi Kablawi. For most houses of worship, a funeral is a sacred, solemn moment of unity and respect. But for ICOSF, it became yet another platform to elevate a hate preacher known for spewing vile rhetoric against Jews, Christians, women, and even fellow Muslims.

Riots erupt in Swiss city after migrant teen is killed in scooter crash while fleeing police
Dramatic riots have erupted in a Swiss city after a migrant teen was killed in a scooter crash while fleeing the police.
Riot cops clashed with protesters who hurled Molotov cocktails in Lausanne as officials desperately tried to put a lid on escalating violence.
The unrest comes with the Olympic capital’s police in the spotlight after four officers were suspended Monday following the unearthing of racist, sexist and discriminatory messages in private WhatsApp groups.
Switzerland is experiencing its first migrant riots.
Violence broke out in Lausanne after a 17-year-old drove a stolen scooter into a brick wall and died while trying to escape the police.
Around 100 other young criminals later smashed up the neighborhood, clashed with the riot… pic.twitter.com/W3KVPTG26K

The Human Cost of Open Borders
Europe’s open-borders catastrophe has claimed another casualty. Last weekend, an American tourist was stabbed in the face by a man suspected to be a Syrian migrant in Dresden. John Rudat, a 21-year-old newly qualified paramedic and part-time model, was brutally assaulted when he stepped in to protect two women who were being harassed on a tram. Rudat got into a heated argument with the two male passengers, who first beat him and then later returned to attack him with a knife.
